工作坊一：述唐樓 ⋅「鎖」情懷
Workshop 1: Tong Lau: Memory of Old Hong Kong in Wan Chai
This workshop will offer a short lecture to introduce Tong Lau's history, architectural style and current conservation practices in Wan Chai. With Blue House as an example, participants will gain an understanding of the past living conditions of Chinese in Wan Chai. Participants will refer to old household items and architectural elements of Tong Lau to customise bag pins/keyrings in “old Hong Kong style” . At the end of the workshop, participants can take away the pin or key ring they made as a memento.
此工作坊將在活動前提供一個簡短的講座，介紹香港「唐樓」的歷史及建築特色，當中會以「藍屋」為例子，講述舊時居民的生活故事及探討現時保育情況，帶領參加者了解過去灣仔華人的生活狀況。 參加者將在工作坊中參考舊式生活用品元素和唐樓的建築元素，定制具有「老香港風格」的別針或鑰匙圈。在工作坊結束後，參加者可以帶走所作的別針或鑰匙圈以作紀念。

Mr. Choi Wing Kei is the second owner of “榮基花店”. He has a unique understanding of flower boards. Adhering to the concept of making flower board keep pace with the times, he boldly innovated on the original craftsmanship, such as replacing the antimony paper on flower board with cloth, and switching light bulbs to LED lights, etc., so that flower board can adapt to the needs of modern people. Mr. Choi Wing Kei was invited to Washington, United States in 2014 to create the largest flower board ever for the National Festival, demonstrating his exceptional skill. Moreover, in order to promote the intangible cultural heritage of flower board, he once collaborated with “榮基花店” to participate in the 2021 community-driven project organised by the Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage Office in order to assist more citizens in realising the traditional skill of flower board.
蔡榮基先生是榮基花店的第二任店主。他秉承著復興花牌技藝的理念，大膽地對花牌紮作上進行創新，包括用布代替花牌上的銻紙，並將燈膽轉用LED燈等，使花牌紮作更適應現代人的需求。在2014年，蔡榮基先生更是獲邀到前往美國華盛頓，為民族節製作節日有史以來最大的花牌。同時，爲了推廣花牌紮作，他曾經協同榮基花店參加由香港非物質文化遺產(非遺)辦事處舉辦的2021年度社區驅動項目，幫助更多市民認識到這項花牌紮作技藝。
